Maturity group — Common bentgrass

Agrostis capillaris L.

Common bentgrass is classified as a mid-season crop, where this indicator reflects the onset of the generative phase rather than the commercial maturity of the stand.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Common bent, where this is mentioned in the description.

The concept of a maturity group for common bentgrass lacks a strict quantitative gradation and is used primarily in seed production for planning harvest schedules. The plant is characterized as mid-season, with the crop's flowering period occurring from June to August and seed ripening from July to August.

In breeding programs, rather than fixed maturity classes, the dates of phenological development stages are recorded: spring regrowth, stem elongation, heading, and flowering. Knowledge of these dates is critical for preventing seed shattering during the ripening process, whereas for turf applications, this trait does not determine maintenance practices.
